Quote of the week

Football

‘From a writing point of view, the England team is a classic example of a brand stuck in the wrong narrative. We’re locked in a story of “empire in decline” that goes back to 1966 and a golden era when we “owned” the game. In that context, every victory is greeted with the feeling that we should be winning easily and every defeat is a humiliation.’ Writer Nick Asbury looks at whether a new story can help the England football team reach future glories.
